Description
Our revolutionary Maelstrom filters set a new standard in pre-tank rainwater filtering. Filtering multiple pipes at a single point, the Maelstrom’s unique U-shaped filter keeps leaves and debris down to 180 microns out of your rainwater tank. They also significantly increase your water catchment efficiency, even at high flow rates (96% at 10 litres per second in wet systems).
How it works:
- Rainwater enters the Maelstrom through either of the horizontal-facing couplings.
- The rainwater then enters the Primary Filter (J). The unique curved filter slows the velocity of the water by changing the direction of its flow.
- Surrounding the Primary Filter is a Secondary Filter (C), comprising of a nylon mesh bag which filters fine particulates larger than 180 micron. This filter assembly is easily removable and will require periodic maintenance
- The filtered rainwater then continues to move through the Maelstrom to the Filtered Water Outlet (F) and into the rainwater tank or pipe (if attached)
- Performance Data
Water Catchment Efficiency @ 5L (1.32gal) / second* 99%
Water Catchment Efficiency @ 10L (2.64gal) / second* 96%Features and Benefits:- A single point, tank-top filter with a ground breaking U-shaped design.
- The 180 micron filter screens particles 5 times smaller than is achieved with a standard tank screen.
- Reduces the hassle of cleaning leaf and debris build-up through Self-flushing.
- Blocks out light that supports algae growth.
- Is a versatile product, able to be installed in a variety of pre-tank locations.
- Reduces frequency and cost of tank cleaning by lowering common sediment build up through cleaner tank water.
- Mounting plate fits 300mm, 400mm and 500mm tank openings, or can be used for mounting in-tank, on wall or in a pit.
